-To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known thatI, GEPHASL. BARB, of San Buenaventura, county of Ventura, and

State of California, have invented an Improvement in Combined Whip -Socket, Oil- Gan, and Wrench; and I hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

which the oil-can is secured to the base of the whip-socket and the wrench is secured to' both, the combined device being adapted to My invention is an improvement upon that combined whip socket, oil-can, and wrench for which I filed application No. 131,774, for Letters Patent of the United States, May 16, 1884; and my invention consists in such a union of parts as will permit the ready separation of one'from the other,'and especially of the wrench from the whip-socket and oilcan,without disturbing the attachment of these latter to the vehicle.

It further consists in a modified construction of the top of the wrench, whereby it may serve as a wrench for small nuts,a rein'holder, or a hoof-cleaner, all of which Ishall hereinafter fully explain by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is avertical section, in part, of my device. Fig. 2 is a vertical section, in part, of same, showing modification as to pivot-bolt E and the connection between oil-can and whip-socket and stud H. Fig. 3 is an elevavation of top of wrench, showing it formed for small nuts. Figs. 4 and 5 are modifications of same.

The object of my invention is to provide a compact and serviceable combined whip-socket, oil-can, and wrench adapted to be carried on or about the vehicle for use when required, each part being readily separable from the other for independent use.

A is the whip-socket, of ordinary construction and dimensions, having a tubular base internally threaded, into which the external- ]y-threaded top of the oil-can B is adapted to be screwed, as shown in Fig. 1. These parts are secured to the vehicle, preferably to the dashboard G, by means of a bolt or pin, E, welded to a band, D, encircling the top of the whip-socket. "The end of this bolt may be threaded, asin Fig. 1, and adapted to fit a-threaded socket in a plate suitably secured to the dashboard, or, as in Fig. 2, it may "simply be turned down smooth andfit through a hole in the plate on the dash-board, and it is then provided witha head, (I, to secure it. The object being to provide a pivotupon which the whipsocket and oil-can may be turned, as hereinafter described, either of the means described are adapted'to efiect this result. I

' C is the wrench, of which 0 is the stock or handle, and c an arm at right angles. In this arm is made a socket, f, into which a pin, F, on

the bottom of the oilcan is adapted to lit. The

upper end of the stock or handle c of the wrench is provided with an elongated slot, on, having a rounded bottom, and the arms m of this slot may be fashioned, as shown in Fig. 3, to provide a wrench for small nuts, or modified, as in Fig. 4, to serve as a-rein-holder, or again modified, asin Fig. 5, to act as a hoofcleaner. In case of a rein-holder, the arms m may be made to rotate on their axis, whereby the reins may be twisted between them. The stock 0- of the wrench, when in place, lies parallel with the whip-socket and oil-can, andthe bolt or pin E, the center of which is turned down'rou nd, (its body being preferably square,') passes through the round bottom slot, m, of the stock 0. cured by the pin F and its top by the bolt E, thewhole wrench is connected with the whipsocket and oil-can; but in order to secure it to its placel have a beveled-headed stud, H, projecting from a plate secured to the dashboard G, and adapted to fit within a correspondingly-beveled slot, h, made in the stock of the wrench. This supports the wrench and holds it to its place. In order to remove it the oil-can B is screwed up sufficiently to free its pin F of the socket f, when the oil-can and whip-socket are swung on the pivot-bolt E through a vertical plane parallel with the dashboard. The wrench is then raised free of the stud H and then slipped off of the bolt E, leaving the whip-socket and oil-can still se- The bottom of the wrench being se-,

cured to the dash-board To return the wrench to its place movements the reverse of these are made. The cam-lever M may be pivoted to the back or front of the wrench, and by bearing against the bolt E force the wrench down on the stud H, and thus prevent any rattling. .If desirable,I may extend thestud H, as shown, Fig. 2, through the slot h, and provide its end with a notch, h, with which'a hook, (it, on the whip-socket may engage to render additional support to the whip-socket and oil-can.

Infitting the pin F of the oil-can to the socket f in the arm of the wrench, theoil can isscrewed up far enough to allow the pin to clear the arm, and when the pin is just over the socket a few reverse turns of the oil-can lowers the pin into the socket; but I do not confine myself to this mode of attachment, as

it may be accomplished differently, as shown in Fig. 2. The oil-can B simply telescopes with the tubular base of the whip-socket, and bears against a spring, n, therein, under the influence of which it is forced down to cause the engagement of its pin with the socket F.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1 The whip-socket A, in combination with the bolt or pin E, by which it is pivoted to the vehicle, and a wrench with a slotted top bearing for the same, substantially as de: scribed.

2. The whip-socket A,having an encircling band, D, at its top, in combination with the bolt or pin E,secured to the band D, and journaledto a suitable part of a vehicle, and a wrench with a slotted top for the pin, substan tially as herein described.

3. The whip-socket A, having the pivotbolt E, by which it is secured to the vehicle, the wrench 0, having a slotted top bearing, m, in which the bolt or pin E is journaled, and a means by which the wrench is supported from the vehicle, substantially as herein described.

4. The whip-socket A, having the pivotbolt E, by which it i is secured to the vehicle, the wrench 0, having a slotted top, in which the bolt or pin Eisjournaled, and the stud H on the vehicle, adapted to enter a slot, h, in the wrench, substantially as herein described.

5. The whip-socket A, having bolt or pin E, by which it is pivoted to the vehicle, the oilcan B, secured to the base of the whip-socket, and having a pin, F, the wrench 0, having stock or handle 0', with a slotted top bearing, m, in which the bolt or pin E is journaled, and an arm, 0, with a socket, f, with which the pin F engages, and the stud H on the vehicle adapted to enter a slot, h, in the stock or handle of the wrench, substantially as herein described.

' 6. TheLwhip-socket A, having pivot bolt or pin E, the oil-can B, secured to its base, and 'the'wrench 0, having a stock or handle, 0, with a slotted top bearing, m, forming modified sides or-arms m, said wrench being secured to the vehicle, and joining-the whipsocket and oil-can by means of' the bolt E, journaled in the slotted bearing, and pin F, fitting socket f, substantially'as herein described.

7. The whip-socket A, having book a and pivot bolt or pin E, the oil-can B, having pin F, the wrench 0, having slotted top bearing, m, and socket f, and the stud H, passing through slot h in the wrench and engaging with hook a on the whip -socket, substantially as herein desciibed.

8. The whip-socket A, secured to the vehicle and having a tubular base with a spring, n, in combination with the oil-can B, telescope ing with said base and bearing against the spring, substantially as herein described.

9. The whip-socket A, having pivot-bolt E, a tubular base and inclosed spring n, the wrench O, secured to the vehicle and joining the bolt, said wrench having arm 0, with socket f, and the oil-can B, telescoping within the tubular base of the whip-socket and bearing against the spring, said oil-can hav ing a pin, F, in its bottom engaging with the socket f in the wrench, substantially as herein described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
